Projects Pedal Car Stroller suggestions

I've got a guy in Phoenix who is supposed to be building one to my specs, exactly 1/3 scale. He's also building spindles for me, to my spec. I'll build the hairpins and a transverse spring.

Shoot me a PM and I'll give you his info. I can't give you a good/bad recommendation on him yet, other than the quote was very affordable. If/when I get the axle I'll post pics.

 

Get some flat stock-1/8" x 1" or 3/4", cut out pie pieces top and bottom after making a cardboard template for the amount of "drop". Then squeeze the gaps closed and weld. For the top and bottom of the "I" beam, weld on some 1/8" x 1/2" flat stock, following the contours of the "drop". I welded steel pipe to the ends, and bored them out to accept flanged bronze bushings for the 1/4" stainless machine screw kingpins. For the turning knuckles, more 1/8" flatstock, bent to fit the kingpin bores, leaving a bit for bronze washers top and bottom. The axles were welded onto the knuckles as well as the brackets for the steering arm and tie-rod. I drilled holes to lighten, then ended up carving out oval slots to really lighten it. I weigh 230 lbs and the axle/whole chassis easily supports my weight.

 

Did you get ahold of Ramon in Sweden that sells my product?????

 

our seats we use are made out of fiberglass

nice drawing for the front beam that should look BAD A**** when finished

 

Thank you. At 39 I'm still an aspiring artist with no time to draw. I scratched that out in about 15 minutes.

Thanks for the pics of how you set up your steering, very cool and simple. I love how the steering links from the back!

 

O hello so you also read this forum
Yes i have talked to Ramon but the shipping cost will be to expensive.
I have been looking at several options and i have found one company that send from the USA to Sweden.
This is how it works:
I Buy the body from you and pay it and the shipping cost to the company, when i have bought it from you i will get a adress in USA from the company where you send the body and they fix the rest.
I wanted the long body first but i have changed my mind, i want the small one because then i can fit it in the trunk of my car and transport it wherever my son want to ride it
How big is the package when you have put the body in a box?

Best regards Mikael

 

the box is 38 x 21 x 15 i have 2 boxes of strollers ready for ramon right now

 

Here is one that I just finished up last week. It's a 1957 Dodge Body on a mixed parts set up. It was fun to build.

Hey. Thanks for the kind words.

 

Roadkillontheweb. I really do not know if it is a Trimex body or not. I bought the body about 5 or 6 years ago and it was stated to be an older casting.

 

It's a Trimex http://www.roadkillontheweb.com/mex1.html The 57 Dodge body mold is one that has recently surfaced and bodies are being made from it. I have more body styles and years to add to the page when I get a chance.

 

Can't wait to see this together.

 

just got the stroller from getting a fresh coat of clear..finally time to get it put together.
